Raman and infrared spectra of sodium chlorate in binary mixture of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and formamide (FA) were obtained. The addition of FA to the NaClO3-DMF system allow us to observe a new band at 1709 cm-1. This has been possible since the large dissociation of Na+ and ClO3- ions produced by the addition of FA helps to observe the coordination effect of DMF on the Na+ ions, in full agreement with the Gutmann donor number of this later. Quantitative measurements performed in the CO stretching region in the binary mixture give a solvation number value for the sodium cation equal at 3 in full agreement with others authors. In the NH stretching region of FA, the arising of the 3580 cm-1 band is assigned to FA-ClO3- interactions via hydrogen bonding. In addition, our results show that the solvation number of the sodium cation remain constant in all concentration range studied. Such fact suggests that mixture of solvents with considerable differences in the donor-acceptor characters can be used to prepare electrolyte solutions where the ion pairs formation seems uncertain.

Throughout the nuclear power production process, the disposal of radioactive waste has consistently raised concerns about environmental safety. When the metal tanks used for waste disposal are corroded, radionuclides seep into the groundwater environment and eventually into the biosphere, causing significant damage to the environment. Hence, investigating the adsorption behavior of radionuclides on the corrosion products of metal tanks used for waste disposal is an essential component of safety and evaluation protocols at disposal sites.

Article Synopsis
  • - The Qaidam Basin in northwestern China is being studied as it resembles early Mars, where significant evaporation has altered its environment over millions of years, leading to unique chemical and isotopic signatures in water samples.
  • - Researchers collected 26 water samples reflecting a range of conditions, highlighting how increased evaporation changes salt composition and the detection of specific chemical compounds, including trace elements that suggest possible microbial activity.
  • - Findings suggest that ancient Martian lakes could better preserve signs of life if they contain certain minerals, nutrients like phosphorus, and unique isotopic ratios indicative of biological processes.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the impact of various toxic and inhibitory substances on mixed cultures of purple phototrophic bacteria (PPB) in wastewater treatment, particularly in anaerobic photoheterotrophic conditions using acetate.
  • Key findings indicate that certain substances like 246TCP, 4-nitrophenol, copper, iron, and nickel are notably toxic, affecting the bacteria's growth and activity differently, with some inhibiting growth more than activity and vice versa.
  • The results have significant implications for improving wastewater treatment technologies and could lead to enhanced production of valuable compounds like polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) or single-cell proteins by manipulating the PPB metabolism.
